Quote

I don't give a damn about any actors. What good will John Barrymore do you with the bases loaded and two down in a tight ball game. Either I get the money (more than Barrymore), or I don't play!

A man ought to get all he can earn. A man who knows he's making money for other people ought to get some of the profit he brings in. Don't make any difference if it's baseball or a bank or a vaudeville show. It's business, I tell you. There ain't no sentiment to it. Forget that stuff.

I've heard people say that the trouble with the world is that we haven't enough great leaders. I think we haven't enough great followers. I have stood side by side with great thinkers - surgeons, engineers, economists people who deserve a great following - and have heard the crowd cheer me instead.

I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
Babe Ruth

I'm going over the valley. (Dying from throat cancer, his doctor found him wandering around his room, asked him where was he going?)
Babe Ruth

How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.

Don't be afraid to take advice. There's always something new to learn.

Well, the good Lord and good luck must have been with me because I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.
